Hello everyone,
Im looking at replacing a few things on my z28 and im not sure im up to the task (capability or time wise) of doing it myself.

Im wanting to replace the optispark, water pump, radiator and ignition wires.
I know that the radiator and water pump needs to come off anyway to get to the distributor so replacing those are a duh. Im curious if anyone knows the labor hours for these and how much it should cost me at a decent napa auto shop or competent shop?

Or, if I decide to do them myself, what is the difficulty level for DIY'ers?

The cost of the distributor, radiator, spark plug wires and water pump are going to run me $1100. So that plus labor is what im trying to find out.

Also im running HeadMan headers on the car, and they are almost not worth having as I cannot access my spark plugs without taking them off (which I have done and is a chore).
Should I find a shop and just have some custom made more to my liking or keep them? If so, how much would I be looking at for those?

Thanks for all the help.

 

id pry do it myself...the hardest part for me when i did it was gettin to the sparkplugs lol...but shoebox has a full right up with all the parts and tools you will need on his website

 

Since you are going to replace the opti anyways, the risk factor in this goes way down. Is there a reason your replacing the radiator?
